T - TEINE BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS for the GREAT LOTTERIES Published and Drawn by authority, and under guarantee of the Hamburg State, beg to inform the Public that the SIXTY-F,IGHTII LOTTERY of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on the 23d of June next, and Tickets are now selling at bancomarks 103, or Si. say Eight Pounds, sterling. The Prizes are :-1 of 100,000, l of 20,000, 1 of 15,000, 1 of 10,C00, 1 of 8,000, 1 of 7,000, 1 of 6,000, 1 of 5,000, 10 of 1,000, 35 of 300, 36 of 165, 234 of 150, and 1,995 of 103 bancomarks; which 2,316 Money Prizes are altogether payable without any deduction what ever, and every holder of a Ticket coming up : one of the 2,000 first drawn Blanks will be entitled, after the fourth day of Drawing, to the receipt of two undrawn Tickets gratis, as per Scheme. Owing to the Gratis Tickets, the number of Tickets on Sale is a very limited one, so that of course they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present First Price of 81., are requested to direct by one of the first mails, but only for whole Tickets, to the above named Contractors, Heine Brothers , in Hambur g , who beg to de cline, as usual, English orders for any thing less than a whole Ticket. To those remitting a 101. note, Heine Brothers will, on executing the order, send an order for the balance of 2/. by return of post. A full Scheme of every desirable information being al ways sent with the Tickets ; those giving orders will only have to write a line ordering the Ticket or 'rickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, and giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by purchasing, may depend on their strictest secrecy as to their taking a chance or getting a Prize, such being the undeviating rule of the old established and most lucky office. TO CORRESPONDENTS. We thank " Iota" for his communication, but it is not of sufficien public interost. We must, therefore, beg leave to decline it. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 5 minutes past Three o' Clock. 4'tk 1 } 11 ) k ' A Y - C Zirf)g, ce''.ll:ll,+ r+ «- LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1836. Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a letter to the Re formers of Hull, in which he announces his acceptance of their invitation to a public dinner on the 6th of April, and observes, inter alia, " it is delightful to see that the principles of public liberty have so triumphed in Hull, that even the admixture of a partially se lected constituency has not enabled the friends of pecu niary corruption to succeed a second time in returning to Parliament a partizan of that Tory faction, whose object is to rule the land for the benefit of the few, and to the oppression of the many." The Hon. and Learned Gentleman adds, in allusion to the present Ministry, " a wise and patriotic Government, acting with strict impartiality between all parties, are beginning to consolidate all the parts of this great empire into one combined union of freedom and prosperity." This well-merited compliment to the MELBOURNE Administration will, as a matter of course, be galled and wormwood to the Tories, and set them upon abusing O'CONNELL with more recklessness and malignity than ever. Little, how ever, need he care for their stormy denunciations, so long as he has the whole of Ireland, and a consi derable portion of the influential, middle, and the in dustrious, intelligent, working classes of England in his favour. By the bye, we are glad lo see that the Reformers of Nottingham, as well as those of Hull, have announced their intention of inviting the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to a public dinner. H ow many of the Conservative party will be honoured in a similar manner during the Easter recess ? We feel it our duty again to exhort the Reform ers to be all at their posts on Monday night, when the Third Reading of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill comes on for discussion. The Tories are, we under stand, beginning to pluck up a little courage ; and though it is impossible that even the most sanguine among them should anticipate a majority, are not without hopes of being able to make such a show of numbers as may serve to confirm the House of Lords in their resolution, if not absolutely to throw out the Bill, at least so to emasculate it, as to render it wholly valueless. It requires very little to induce their Lord ships to adopt this suicidal—for we can call it by no other name —course of conduct. A stray vote more or less subtracted from the late majority against the Conservatives will be quite sufficient for the purpose ; and enable that reckless sophist LYNDHURST to declare it as his belief, that the measure in question has lost much of its popularity with the more reflecting portion of the Reformers,. The Tories are well aware of this ; hence their de termination to " try once again the fortune of the fight." But this tenacity of purpose will not serve them. Struggle and persevere as they may, they cannot do more than they have already done ; they have no fresh recruits to bring into the field ; no fresh stores of argument wherewith to bolster up their cause, and confirm a waverer ; their utmost exer tions have been used ; and if they could make no thing of a fight when they first took the field, at the commencement of the Session—a compact, com bined, and well disciplined phalanx—how will they be able to make one now, when they are routed at all points, with nothing but the sheerest phrenzy of desperation to support them under their reverses ? We by no means regret the resolution of the Tories to oppose the Third Reading of the Irish Corporation Bill, for it will give the people another opportunity of con trasting their deplorable weakness, with the overwhelm ing strength of the Reformers ; and convince all men, who are worth convincing, that the Conservative dynasty is fast passing away, never again to be restored. In another part of our paper will be found the Resolutions passed by the Ministers and by the De puties of the Presbyterian Denomination, on the with drawment of these bodies from the General Bodies of ministers and deputies of the Three Denominations. The reasons assigned by the Presbyterians for thus dissolving a union, which could no longer be main tained without degradation on their part, and the principles of which had been so often violated by the two other denominations, cannot fail to convince every unprejudiced mind of the propriety of the course which has been pursued in this case. We have received communications from several highly respectable quarters, expressing regret that we have not advocated the reduction of the Spirit Licenses. To one of these, from an old subscriber at Colchester, which will be found in another part of The Sun, we beg to direct the attention of our readers. With all proper respect for the judgment of our correspondents, arguments much more convincing than any we have yet heatd will be necessary to convince us that it is of more importance to the great bulk of the people of this country to have cheap Gin than cheap Newspapers. But even were we to admit so much, such a result could not be ex• petted from the reduction of the present rate of License Duty. We admit that it may be oppressively felt by a few, and we regret that a grievance should fall to the lot of any ; but the Stamp Duty upon News papers is an impost which falls with a morally blighting influence upon all. As the Stamp Duty upon Newspapers and the duty upon Spirit Licenses cannot, in the present state of the revenue, be both re duced at the same time, we must contend for a priority of claim to reduction on the part of the former. Most of our correspondents have fallen into a mis take respecting our opinions on the expediency of re ducing the Duty upon Spirit Licenses. They seem to think that we are opposed to the reduction of the duty on principle. Now the truth is that we are no such thing. We would recommend the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER to reduce the duty to 10s.. to-morrow, if the revenue could afford such a reduction without injury to the public service. At the same time we would observe that in the reduction of taxation, precedence ought to be given to those burthens which press most heavily upon the people. It is upon this equitable principl , 2 that we have maintained the right of Newspaper pur chasers to the first relief. Consistently with that prin ciple we are prepared to render the Licensed Victual lers and every other class of tax-payers all the assist • ante in our power. The Licensed Victuallers seem not to be aware of the fact, that one of the principal objects of Govern ment in the reduction of all License Dutics will be to open the trade. With a lower rate of License Duty there will, as a matter of right, be a corresponding increase of competition. Were this result not to follow the reduction of such duties, the parties engaged in the trade would put the sums remitted by the Go vernment in favour of the consumers into their own pockets. The Licensed Victuallers seem to think that the high rate of License Duty of which they com plain falls exclusively upon their own shoulders. This is a mistake ; the Duty is paid by them, but in reality every farthing of it is extracted from the pockets of their customers. It is true that the reduction of the Duty would benefit them exclusively, as the reduc tion would be too trifling to enable them to lower the price of beer or spirits ; but this benefit would be coun teracted by the increased facilities of entering into the trade, by which the custom of the present Licensed Victuallers would be materially diminished. Now, there are few Licensed Victuallers, who, if they were seriously to examine the question, would not prefer pay ing from one to five pounds a-year more in License Duty, rather than witness a rival establishment opened next door to them. With respect to the agricultural districts, we are decidedly of opinion that every person ought to be at full liberty:to brew his own beer, without being subject to any Excise Duty v:hatever. Beer, in England, is a necessary of life—and as it is produced in the, country, ought not to be subject to any tax, except in time of war, when every thing is liable to taxation. But every arrangement required for the good govern ment of this country cannot be made in a moment. Changes for the better might be made so precipitately, as to become changes for the worse. The Licensed Victuallers must have patience. They must " bide their time," as well as every other class of oppressed tax-payers. We have the greatest confidence in the financial projects of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER ; and if allowed to develope his plans gradually and in order, the Licensed Victuallers will find that their just claims to redress have not been over looked. We have received a communication from Mr. Tiny- NYSON D'EYNCOURT requesting us to correct an error, into which we were led by a correspondent, on the subject of his proposed amendment on Mr. WAK LEY'S motion for the repeal of the Septennial Act. The error to which we allude appeared in a leading article in this Journal of the 22d inst., and consisted in saying that the Right Hon. Gentleman's amendment substituted a Quinquennial for a Septennial Bill—which we repudiated as an abandonment of a great political principle. Mr. TENNYSON refers us, for his opi nions upon the duration of Parliaments, to his speeches in the House of Commons when moving the repeal of the Septennial Act on the 23d of July, 1833, and the 15th of May, 1834, as reported in the Mirror of Parliament,—opinions from which lie never swerved. We have read over these speeches with considerable care ; they advocate not Quinquen nial, but Triennial Parliaments ; and therefore we freely express our regret at having misrepresented the senti ments of the Right Hon. Gentleman. It will be seen, by referring to our article of the 22(1, that Mr. TENNY SON's reported change of opinion surprised us, and that we particularly dwelt upon the fact, that no cir cumstance had occurred to justify it. The mistake then originated i n p a yi ng more regard to the commu nication of a correspondent than, in justice to Mr. TENNYSON and to ourselves, we ought to have done. But in future we shall be more cautious. So much by way of an apology, which we have great pleasure in making. In fact, we would rather be called upon to make twenty such apologies, than that one of our denunciations of apostasy, on the part of liberal members of the legislature, should receive confirmation. We are only zealous in the cause of Reform and the country ; and we should rather be blamed for an excessive watchfulness occasionally be traying us into groundless suspicions, than be taxed with a supine indifference to the conduct of the peo ple's Representatives in Parliament. When Mr. WAKLEY brings forward his motion for the Repeal of the Septennial Act, which now stands for May, we shall do ample justice to the recorded opinions of the Right Hon. Member for Lambeth. The present is not a fitting time to re-open the ques tion, and we, therefore, defer it till the first opportu nity which promises to present itself. As the Repeal of the Septennial Act is necessary to the legitimate operation of the Reform Bill, the Liberals ought to bestir themselves in exerting that " pressure from with out" of which the distracted Tories stand in such ap prehension. Meetings ought to be held in every town throughout the kingdom, and petitions got up, praying the Legislature to carry out the great principle of Par liamentary Reform by the re-enactment of the Triennial Bill of 1694. Now is the time to effect that measure, for should the Government become so strong as to be under no necessity of recurring to frequent dissolutions, the difficulty will become so great as almost to be insurmountable. With Tri ennial Parliaments, and those reforms in the Repre sentation, and in the organization of the Civic Insti tutions of the country which have recently been effected, the nation would go on peaceably and prosperously. The Legislature Would re-echo the opinions of an enlightened constituency, and the MONARCH would learn from the mouth of his Parliament the real sentiments of his people. Thus the KING would not be misled by a corrupt faction, whether in the Upper or Lower House, into the fatal error of opposing the will of his devoted subjects by an unfortunate stretch of the Royal prerogative ; and, on the other hand, the people seeing that all power in the State was really exercised to promote their welfare and honour, would cherish a spirit of devoted loyalty for the person and dignity of their SOVEREIGN. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday. They bring no intelligence of any im portance. PARIS, MARCH 23.—A report has been spread during the day that General Alava was to be succeeded by the Duke of Rivaz. The person who gave this news pretended to be well informed. MARCH 24.—The Moniteur has nothing official this morning. If we may believe private letters from Algiers, it had been announced to the army that the Duke of Nemours will take part in the expedition to Medea, Aliliana, and :Chirchell, and that this expedition will take place within a month. The same letters announce the appointment of Youssouf as Bey of Constantia. The Marquis de Strada, first Equerry to the King, has very suddenly left Paris for England, on a special mission, it is said, the ostensible object of which is to purchase horses. Some persons believe that his journey has some political object. Madrid or Cracow may have given occasion to correspondence which it may not be thought proper to intrust to mere Cabinet Messengers. Orders have just been issued in the army to send home on furlough all the subalterns and privates of the Class of 18 30. They will set out immediately on the return to their Corps, of the men now absent on furlough. A letter from Lyons says that the daughters, wives, and sisters, of the persons of that City condemned for political of fences, have sent a petition to the Queen of the French, to oh tahi the pardon of all the political prisoners without exception. A Ministerial Journal of this morning, confirming the de struction of the Trocadero, of 120 guns, by fire, says that the lois will be 3,000,000 f. —lllessagir, March 24.

Most of the newly-elected mem bers of the Chamber of Deputies have already arrived in the Capital. Of the last Chamber only fifty-eight members have been re-elected. The new members are ninety-seven in number, and all are stated to profess the most liberal opinions. A Morning Contemporary notices one remarkable fact in the constitution of the new Chamber—namely, that of the majority who voted against the 17th article of the Electoral Law, and se compelled the President of the Council to resort to a dissolution of the Cortes, only one member has been returned again to the Chamber. This is strikingly il lustrative of the immense popularity of MENDIZABAL, and proves how well his policy harmonizes with the electoral spirit of Spain. The vacancies in the Cabinet remain to be filled up, and it is probable that no appointments will be made before the opening of the Cortes. MENDIZABAL wishes to consult the Chambers, and to ascertain the precise views of the majority before taking any steps towards the re-organization of the Ministerial body. Several meetings of the newly arrived deputies have been held, and every means have been adopted to bring the majority to act in unison. In the mean while public credit is rather at a low ebb. Many persons are alarmed at the power assumed by the Minister through the means of royal decrees, which have the force without the sanctity of laws, and which are liable to be capriciously promulgated, and as capriciously revoked. Besides the public mind, labou r i ng un d er suc h a l on g course of v i o l ent excitement, is not in a condition to relish mild and conciliatory measures. The republican spirit of the country has been roused, and nothing is now talked of by the peasantry but the re-establishment of the con stitution of Cadiz. By private advices, we learn that the French Go vernment has decided not to interfere in the c i v il war in the Basques, and that this determination has been officially communicated to the Governments of London and Madrid. The news from the North of Spain is unimportant. The belligerents are more eager to avoid each other than to meet in the field of battle. We have received advices from Lisbon to the 20 instant. The Ministers, though beaten upon every question, and plunged in difficulties from which they find it impossible to extricate themselves, still desperately cling to office. The QUEEN supports them, so that their retirement will not take place before the arrival of the Prince of PORTUGAL. The following extract from the private correspondence of a Morning Contemporary, embodies all that is important in these communications : " The Administration goes on much the same ; even the packets to the Colonies no longer run, because th e y cannot b e paid; the Madeira Prefe ct or Civil Governor is still here for the same reason. The certificates receivable in payment of national property were the other day at 27 per cent. cash, and now at 32 per cent. In Silva Carvalho's time they were 63 per cent. The tobacco bills, which used to be discounted at 5 per cent. per annum, cannot now be done at 22 per cent ; and lastly, the members of his famous treasury committee of in quiry declared, yesterda,y, that they had found one item, of 3,000 contos, or 740,0001., which they had improperly included in their famour deficit. " The Essex steamer sailed for Constantinople on the 16th, and the Liverpool steamer, from Cadiz, came in the same morning, and proceeded in one hour for England. His Ma jesty's ship Espoir, with the London mail of the sth instant, anchored on the same day ; but the Scorpion, with that of the 27th of February, only came in late list evening, and the let ters will not be out till noon. His Majesty's ship Pearl was at Vigo on the 12th, together with some East Indiamen, out ward bound, waiting a favourable wind. The Dutch brig Agenoria, from Rotterdam to New York, out 40 days, was driven in here on the 15th, in consequence of severe damage and the loss of one man, experienced at sea on the 7th instant. The Lord of the Isles steamer, whose name has been changed to Terceira, starts on the 21st for Oporto, wind and weather permitting, - and M. Campos granting the necessary funds in order to pay the crew." A Pamphlet has just been published by Ridgway, entitled " Remarks on the present State of the Bri tish Museum, by H. S. Peacock, Surgeon," which is well deserving of public attention. We are not disposed to give any decided opinion upon this Institution, before Parliament has concluded its inquiries respecting its ma nagement and utility ; and therefore we shall content ourselves with quoting Dr. PEACOCK'S account of what the British Museum is, and what it ought to be. The present state of the Museum is thus described : " On entering the building the first object we observe is a statue of Shakespeare—a fit ornament certainly for a theatre ; but quite inappropriate for the vestibule of the Museum. To this succeeds the further incongruity of an Indian idol. Various stuffed animals occupy'the staircase, and the collec tion commences with the productions of savage art, which should more properly find a place at its termination. The rest is an heterogeneous display of objects in great confusion ; most of the specimens are without names or references, and some names without specimens—upstairs and downstairs ----elephants with sponges. The fossils which, since the advancement of Geology, have become, so interesting a study, are dispersed all over the house, and you might as soon expect to find a certain specimen by searching in the earth itself, as en the shelves of the British Museum. Many of the fossils have been coloured, which must certainly obliterate any delicate markings of structure ; and a fine specimen of meteo ric iron stands out in the passage by the coal-scuttle. The portraits in the apartments, devoted to the Mineralogical col lection, are quite out of place. They should be transferred to the National Gallery. In the midst of all, the workmen employed on the alterations ply their noisy labours. The cha racter of the exhibition may be discerned by its effect on the visitors, who wander over it melancholy and bewildered. "The Library next demands our attention. Though large, it consists chiefly of old books, and is very defective in recent publications. The catalogue is very inefficient. There is no collection of music. The reading-room is exceedingly ill contrived, badly lighted, and badly ventilated. It is situated in an obscure corner of the premises, and approached by a labyrinth, leading along a. gutter and over two drains. There is a great want of accommodation in - the interior; and the space is very confined. The library is not single, but con sists of several distinct collections of books and manuscripts. We have thus the King's Library set apart in the same man nn. as in the Mineralogical Collection ; there is a separate Case appropriated for some minerals procured from the Hartz mountains, and presented by his late Majesty George the Fourth. Whatever view may be taken of the circumstance by courtesy, Science would decide that a greater object would be fulfilled by incorporating these with the rest of the collec tion. There is in our systems no class for Royal Specimens." What the British Museum ought to be A national Museum to be complete, should, as far as prac ticable, be constituted a repository for all the available pro ductions of nature and art, esteemed as objects of admiration or study, According to this plan the National Gallery of Pictures would be included, and not constitute a separate in stitution. Antiquities should not constitute a distinct section ; but by arranging the artificial productions according to their dates, the antiquities will precede the modern specimens, and the order will be altogether more definite and exact. " One condition is above all essential to the perfection of tha Museum, a strict and compehensive arrangement. The whole should bespeak a " Lucidus ordo," by which separate parts of the collection explain each other. Artificial systems may be serviceable in many respects, but a natural arrangement is far more suitable for such a collection, commencing with the simplest productions of nature, and concluding with the library of books, the most perfect productions of man. Every production of nature, from tlx simplest mineral to the noblest animal, acquires its organization by passing through all the inferior 'phases of development, beginning at the lowest form of matter, and proceeding through each intermediate link till it arrives at its most perfect condition, when again it becomes resolved into its original elements. Thus a mineral may be considered an - organized element; a vegetable, a 'vitalized mineral ; and an animal, an ani mated vegetable—the gradation from the lowest to the highest, arising from the super• addition of new faculties. To develope this is the main object of classification, which, in the Musoum should typify the aspect ofinature, enlarging our con ceptions of the universe—the -o Trav and showing how crea tion is single, connected and influenced by one law. An ap propriate building is also essential, a mere dwelling-house being, however large, quite unsuitable. The apartments and galleries, the shelves, cases, and, as far as possible, every spe cimen should be numbered and. named. A complete catalogue is requisite, which might be published in parts or divisions, for the convenience of those interested in particular subjects ; and a synopsis might serve to convey a general idea of the whole." DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) In consequence of the absence of one or two of the Mem bers, the Committee did not sit to-day until half-past twelve o'clock. Mr. THESSIGER complained that the agents for the sitting Members had acted unfairly towards the petitioners, in not giving them information as to the course they intended to pursue, respecting two list of voters which had been fur nished to them yesterday, and up to that moment they had not stated whether they would consent or object to have the rates struck off. Mr. MURPHY, agent for the sitting Members, disclaimed the imputation of the Learned Gentleman, and said that it was only at twelve o'clock last night that one of these lists were fur nished to him. If a short time was allowed, he would give the Learned Gentleman an answer. This proposition having been assented to, Mr. MURPHY after some time agreed that nine votes should be struck off. Mr. TNESSIGER then objected to the vote of James Cava nagh, upon arrear of water-pipe tax ; and was proceeding to prove the identification by reference to the poll-books. Mr. HUTTON objected, as being in opposition to a rule of the Committee, that the poll-book should not be produced in evidence, unless where it had been referred to in the individual instance before the Commissioner in Dublin. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR satin Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day, IN THE MATTER OF NORRIS, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. Mr. BETHELL some days since applied in petition on behalf of the only daughter of a person named Norris, residing in Union-place, Lambeth, for a Commi ss i on d e Lunatico lnqui rFndo against that gentleman. Mr. Cooper upon that occa sion opposed the petitioner, and after considerable argument it was suggested by the Lord Chancellor that the parties should appoint some mutual friend to v i s it th e su pposed lunatic, who was residing with strangers to him, at his own house at Lam beth. His Lordship also suggested that that friend should have the care of his property, and that in case any of it was made away with, then that an application should be made for a Corn mission. Mr. BETHELL this morning stated, that in pursuance of the suggestion of his Lordship, the parties had appointed a gen tleman, named Bright, to take care of the supposed lunatic's property ; that he proceeded to the house, but was perempto rily refused admission several times. Mr. Bright, therefore, now applied for a commission, but as some days must neces sarily elapse before that commission could issue, he trusted his Lordship would make some order for the care of the supposed lunatic and his property till the commission issued. Mr. COOPER, who was instructed to oppose the application, said that he was not aware that Mr. Bright had been refused admission. His clients had made several affidavits, which, after reading, he considered it to be his duty to advise them at once to let the Commission issue. Some care, how ever, must be taken of the supposed lunatic between the pre sent time and the issuing of the Commission ; he trusted, therefore, that a small balance which was in the hands of Messrs. Coutts, belonging to the supposed lunatic, would be ordered by the Court to be drawn out for that purpose, espe cially as several tradesmen to whom Mr. Norris owed small sunis were threatening hire with legal proceedings. Mr. BETHELL objected to the adoption of that course, but stated, that if his Lordship granted the protection of the Court by Commission, he would undertake that the gentleman employed should take care that Mr. Norris's comforts should be attended to in every respect. Mr. COOPER expressed himself satisfied with this ararrangement.The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the Commission to issue forthwith. Yesterday was anniversary of the birth-day of Prince George of Cambridge, when his Royal Highness com pleted his seventeenth year. On Sunday his Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand of Portugal will leave town for Portsmouth. The Prince Edward of Carolath is son of the Duchess Amelia of Saxe Meiningen, aunt to her Majesty the Queen. The opera of The Jewess was represented at Vienna for the first time on the 3d inst., in presence of the Emperor and the Archduchesses Theresa and Sophia. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday, for the purpose of considering the report of the City Revenue Committee, as respects the Mayoralty expenses, when, after considerable discussion, but of no great public interest, the further consideration of the report was adjourned, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1836. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY In the Loans' various petitions were presented, the Report of the Ecclesiastical Leases was agreed to, and several Bills were forwarded a stage. In the COMMONS' an unusually great number of petitions:on various subjects were presented ; they will be found enume rated in our Parliamentary Report. A great many others still standing over for presentation, the Speaker acquiesced in a suggestion that there should on Tuesday be a morning sitting for that purpose. The Report on the Corporation of Poole having been brought up and ordered to be printed, Mr. Poul ter gave notice that on Tuesday he would move for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject. The ,Bill to regulate the Bishopric of Durham was read a first time, on the motion of Lord J. Russell, who announced that on Wednesday next he should move that the House should adjourn to the 11th of April. By our Parliamentary Report, to which we must refer the reader for the particulars of the debate, it will be seen that the consideration of the Report on the Tithes Commutation Bill engaged the House for a considerable time. The first 12 clauses were carried. During the discussion Lord John Russell declared himself still favourable to the compulsory clauses. The Report of the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill was received, and the Pill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Lord Morpeth fixed his motion on the subject of Irish Tithes for the 25th of April. On the motion of Sir J. Graham, it was resolved that the Chairman of a Select Com mittee can only vote when there is an equality of voices. Mr. Lefroy's motino, relative to the Cork voters, was negatived. IRELAND. An Investigation relative to the execution of the writs of re bellion lately issued took place on the 18th at Dunlavin. Evidence of a character 10 contradictory as to lead to the be lief of perjury was adduced. On the subject of this investiga tion, and with some reference to the conduct of the Magis trate before whom it was conducted, the Freeman's Journal says, " The local Magistracy, and we are bound to add the great majority of the stipendiary Magistrates hitherto ap pointed are anxious to protect the police, so that the com plainant has a reluctant tribunal to deal with ; and unless the case is so strong as not to admit of any cavil, the Magistrates will report in favour of the delinquents. We could heartily wish that the present Government would get rid of the whole batch of stipendiary Magistrates appointed by former Go vernments, to which scheming and chicanery were essential." CAS TLETOWN DELVIN ANTI-TITHE MEETlNG.—Resolutions were adopted at a very numerous meeting of this district : one of them describes the "violent alternative" resorted to by the incumbent against one of his poor parishioners. Friday morning all the workmen at Castle-Grace mills, in cluding millers, millwrights, labourers, &c., went in a body to Samuel Grubb, Esq., and told him they would not longer remain in his employment if he did not forthwith dismiss Mr. Hill, who prosecuted a ruffian to conviction at the last Clonmel Assizes, for attempting to murder him. Mr. Grubb of course refused to comply with such a demand, and the consequence has been, that the mills have remained idle since. Such was the savage appearance and determination of the mob in Clog been that Mr. Taylor, Lord Lismore's agent, was obliged to call out detachments of the 15th Hussars and 43d Light In fantry, as also the police, for the purpose of escorting Mr. Hill back to Castle-Grace. On Saturday Lord Glengill went to Castle-Grace, and had the workmen called together, to whom he explained the law of combination, and the penalties they had incurred by their proceedings ; but they all to a man de clared that they would prefer being on the tread-mill fur six months than work under Mr. Hill.—Limerick Paper. STATE OF WICKLOW. —The population of this county has been thrown into general confusion by writs of rebellion and the emissaries of the parsons. Agricultural pursuits have been abandoned by all the farmers who are subject to the pay ment of tithes. They do not ♦enture even to go to Mass on Sunday ; so that their reverences will have the consolation not only of blasting the hope of the harvest, but of preventing the moral and religious instruction of the people, who are deter mined to submit to every privation rather than pay a detested impost against which their consciences revolt.—Freonan. REPRESENTATION OF MAYO.—The Mayo papers announce that considerable anxiety prevails in that county, in conse quence of the vacancy which will be created by the elevation of the Right Hon. D. Browne to the Peerage. SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MARCH 25.—Wind N.

The Prince Edward Island Papers received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 17th February, are not of much importance. Some conversation took place in the House of Assembly on the expediency of a joint Address from the Council and Assembly to the King, against any alteration in the timber duties. Petitions deprecating any change in the existing system have been transmitted from the Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. By the Bermuda Papers to the Bth March, we learn that a French fleet, with troops, had arrived at Martinique and Gua. daloupe. The House of Assembly, New Brunswick, has voted to his Excellency, the Lieutenant-Governor, the sum of 3501. for four years, to be paid to any person who shall establish a steam boat communication of not less than seventy horse power, be tween Mirinrachi and Pictou, Nova Scotia and Charlotte Town, Prince Edward Island ; also 5001. for another steam-boat to run between Fredricton and Woodstock, to carry the mails and passengers. The House of Assembly has been principally oc cupied in the consideration of Private Bills. Miramichi papers to the 2nd of March state of the proceed ings of the provincial legislature, New Brunswick, that Mr. L. A. Wilmot, from the Committee appointed to present the Address to his Excellency, on the subject of the casual and territorial revenues, reports that his Excellency was pleased to answer the same as follows : " Gentlemen—ln answer to this Address, I beg you will inform the House of Assembly that I do not feel myself au thorised to comply with their request to the full extent-L-some of the particulars asked for being under the consideration of his Majesty's Government, and others not under my controul ; but I will direct to be laid before the House a statement of the receipts and expenditure of the casual revenue." Calcutta Papers to the 21st of November have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. They state of the monsoons, " Until yesterday the monsoons had been so fa vourable that the few ships in the Roads rode as easy at their an chors as they possibly could at any season of the year ; but ap pearances assuming a threatening aspect, the brig Ayr and the Honourable Company's schooner, Recovery, put to sea. There was, however, no wind during the night." The Goomsur Rajah, report says, has assumed an attitude of defiance ; but we are inclined to think his courage will fail him when he becomes acquainted with the extent of the force ordered against him.
